This is a great place to learn and train! Hugo and Marcos are excellent, patient instructors and are always willing to take the time to answer specific questions. They breakdown the details of the techniques clearly so that everyone from beginners to advanced will catch something new.

My son started to go to this academy in the summer of 2015. This is definitely the best place to train Jiu Jitsu in Fort Worth! My son loved it so much that we started our other son and my husband started going as well. The coaches are patient, great with kids and knowledgeable. The studio is very well kept and clean. The atmosphere is very positive and family friendly.

Love, love, love this academy. The reason for this is threefold. 1) It starts at the top. Professor Marcos Santos is a gentleman, so friendly and welcoming, with such a deep knowledge of BJJ that it will make your head spin. He teaches by breaking everything down to its most basic form, making it easy to follow the technique being taught and in such a way that it is relatable to your level, whether you are a white belt or with years of training. 2) Because of the atmosphere encouraged, everyone, without exception, all the coaches and students, are so helpful and friendly. No one hordes the knowledge. everyone is so giving and helpful with their time and knowledge. White belts do not feel "out-of-it" since the upper belts are always helping with technique and improvement. 3) One is not forced to compete. You are made welcome at the academy whether you are there for conditioning and fitness, for self-defense, or to overcome personal obstacles, whatever it is...and if you do want to compete you have, at your disposal, all the resources you could ever wish for! I feel fortunate to have found Professor Marcos Santos, his coaches and the Marcos Santos Academy for sure!
